The past several years have afforded me with the opportunity, which I took on as an obligation, to share my research on national security policing, civil liberties, and the focus of this book, Islamophobia, on college campuses, at law schools, and in communities across and outside of the United States. While I have been closely examining these topics for some time, even before beginning my legal academic career, the 2016 presidential election brought an immediate urgency to and proliferated interest in my work.
